Uncover the science of glass blowing in this Hotshop demonstration. Visitors will have a firsthand look at the process of shaping molten glass using traditional tools and techniques. The tour will explore questions such as: How has glass blowing evolved since its origin thousands of years ago? What is the chemistry of glass and how does that affect its colour? Is glass flexible? What happens when glass is cooled too quickly? Why is teamwork so important in the Hotshop?
